Regarding Polycrisis, lead singer Paige MacKinnon stated: “Polycrisis is the state of the world as we see it, and the perpetual battles we face within ourselves. As songwriters we couldn't just say one thing. There's too much to say. It's a frenzy of issues in which everyone's issue is THE issue. The world is not in crisis; it's in Polycrisis. 

“Brad pushed our boundaries and showed us that we were capable of expanding past ourselves both as songwriters and musicians in the studio. He has a superpower of instilling confidence in us that we have what it takes to create better art. [And also drinking espresso.] He appreciated the importance of translating our raw energy and passion into the record. He helped us make it special.”

Tastemaker publications from SPIN to FLOOD to Nashville Scene have already predicted their rapid rise and global domination beyond their dedicated Nashville following. Drawn to dynamic singer and lead guitarist Paige MacKinnon, who is backed by Ethan Waggoner (rhythm guitar), Stephen Sobolewski (bass guitar), and Connor McCourt (drums). The band combines a familiar nostalgia with an undeniably fresh fusion of punk, grunge, and indie rock, channeling the spirit of trailblazers like The Pretenders, PJ Harvey, and Sleater-Kinney with the sneering vibrancy of acts like IDLES. 

Gloom Girl MFG is the emerging force buzzing in gritty clubs and beloved music venues innovating right in the center of the music scene in Music City, far from the machine of its country roots and bachelorette-laden honky-tonks. In the midst of an indie rock evolution, Gloom Girl MFG is stirring the pot with their mission in mind:  to provide a musical escape from global gloom, one with a community around it, fueled by an inclusivity that sedates the increasingly digitally-fueled urge to be a part of something tangible. Something powerful. 

It’s this theme that resonates throughout their new EP Polycrisis. Produced by Brad Shultz (Cage The Elephant), its title projects the concept of separate pieces compounding to form something bigger. That dichotomy is echoed musically within their stabbing modern riot grrrl tracks that juxtapose unsuspectingly against energetic honesty, lyrical depth, and a human quality too often absent in heavier music.
